Solving problems converting between units of time worksheet

The 'Solving problems converting between units of time' worksheet is an engaging resource designed to enhance the proficiency of KS2 students in time conversion. The worksheet presents a series of activities aimed at developing skills in calculating time intervals and understanding timetables. In Activity 1, students are provided with 'time digit cards' which may display time in analogue, digital, or written format. Using these cards alongside blank number lines, each student is tasked with determining the time interval between two given times. To reinforce accuracy, they then exchange their calculations with a partner for verification.

Activity 2 introduces a practical application of time conversion through the use of various timetables. Children are instructed to create three questions that involve calculating the duration of events, ensuring they also provide answers and suggested calculations on a separate sheet. After formulating these questions, they swap with a partner to challenge each other in solving the problems they've each created. This activity not only tests their ability to work out durations but also encourages peer review and collaborative problem-solving. The worksheet's objective is to solidify the students' ability to convert between different time units such as hours to minutes, minutes to seconds, years to months, and weeks to days, thereby enhancing their mathematical competence in handling real-world time-related problems.
